In the past, Entomology Today has featured some posts about parasitoid wasps and how then can be used for biological control of insect pests. For example:

– New Parasitoid Wasp Species Found in China May Help Save Pine Trees

– Videos of Parasitoid Wasps and their Caterpillar Hosts

– New Wasp Species Discovered in Taiwan Lays Eggs Inside Damselfly Eggs
